Disneyland, Walt Disney’s first and original Magic Kingdom, opened exactly 57 years ago. With only a handful of attractions and restaurants, Walt set on an adventure that went way beyond his imagination. Today, Disneyland counts 58 attractions and top of the line entertainment, as well as Disney California Adventure Park, Downtown Disney and two Disney hotels.

In honor of its birthday, let’s have a look at a selection of photos from our trip to Disneylandt Resort a few years back…

To all who come to this happy place. Welcome. Disneyland is your land. Here age relives fond memories of the past. And here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future. Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams and the hard facts that have created America…with the hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world. – Walt Disney
